I'll refer you to a site that deals with this issue, and some of the text is pasted here: http://www.christiancourier.com/articles/950-does-the-bible-conflict-with-itself-in-the-matter-of-incest "(2) There is another factor that must be considered. In the early days of the human family, before sin, disease, and genetics took such a deadly accumulative toll, Adam’s offspring were much more physically vigorous than they now are. And so inter-family unions would not have resulted in the debilitating effects that are characteristic of such relationships in the modern world. Adam himself lived to be 930 years of age, yet by the time of Abraham, 175 was a “good old age” (Genesis 25:7-8); eventually human longevity would level out at approximately 80 years on average (Psalm 90:10). “Time,” in a sinful world, has extracted a high cost." The first chapter of Genesis tells us that everything God made was good, and Romans 5:12 tells us that death entered the world through sin. The 930 years part is found in Genesis 5:5.

If you believe humans could live up to 930 years in the past then you are a blind follower. The life expectancy has only risen with technology/medicine. Humans could barely get past age of 20 in the early days. Must take a lot of faith to believe in bullshit.
